i'm so fascinated with rheya's story and the concept of her as their goddess, because it's such an obvious rejection of christianity. of course, this is no surprise considering that the book lead is a jewish man and the series has multiple times subverted the antisemitic tropes associated with vampires. religious themes are prominent in bloodbound, and the treatment of it and its distinct parallels to a certain point of view of christianity i think can't be denied.

rheya is referred to as a goddess throughout the series. she's a priestess and arguably the goddess phampira made flesh, which already draws parallels to jesus, who was a spiritual leader himself. gaius augustine is roman and her most devoted follower, converting (turning) people across the world in a similar way the roman st paul the apostle did. gaius also shares a name with st augustine of hippo, arguably the most important philosopher in christian history and theology.

to be a vampire in bb is to drink the blood of another vampire, and all are descended from the priestess-goddess rheya. this immediately evokes similar Eucharistic notions - as in john 6:53-54, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day."

rheya herself has inspired canon organized religion. the chapel built by dracula is highly reminiscent of catholic and orthodox churches:

in the bonus scene in the dark solstice, serafine is also shown to be praying to rheya. this in particular caught my attention because of how it was worded:

"when the First shall return to us... when the Order will burn... when we may once again be free" it's a very messianic prayer and in itself mirrors the christian belief that one day, jesus will return and enact his will and his kingdom onto the earth.

the whole passage can be compared to the lord's prayer. "when the first shall return to us... when the order will burn" - "hallowed be thy name / thy kingdom come / thy will be done / on earth as it is in heaven" which talks about second coming of jesus, and in this case, rheya. vampires are waiting for salvation, waiting for and asking for "deliverance from evil".

despite all this, bloodbound actively rejects rheya as god made flesh, rejects the notion of her as their savior, and arguably even the concept of a savior. mc denying that rheya is neither savior nor goddess is akin to denying that jesus is the savior and is god:

and this even extends to her name itself - rheya apostolous. "christ" is not jesus' actual name, it's a title that means savior. and while we can take "rheya apostolous" as a typical first name-last name thing, i choose to view "apostolous" as a title - and apostolous means "apostle", a follower, not a savior or a goddess.

and again, knowing that the book lead is a jewish man makes this approach make more sense. through christianity has undeniably jewish roots and jesus was jewish himself, judaism denies that jesus is the messiah. this approach to vampire lore as well as the care that was put into it in order to subvert antisemitic tropes rife the concept of vampires makes bloodbound such a refreshing take on the vampire genre as a whole.

Bloodnight Fan Project, text written story, fanfic: Serafine Dupont

One of Love Interests in Bloodnight. She's a vampire who knows MC since they accidentally meet somewhere, but BN!MC doesn't talk about it.

She's flirty, serious and understanding vampire who's attracted to Bloodnight!MC. She had a fling with some vampires. Vlad, her ex-fling they both being just friends and not feeling romantically stuff for each other.

Headcanon: If MC romances her, then she will feel for him romantic feelings and will say that she likes him. And possible, Serafine could be his girlfriend in future.

If MC says that he's feelings that both of them only platonic then Serafine will be for MC just a friend.

will the order of dawn appear? those ruthless vamp hunters from europe, hope our vamps will win gainst them. i hate them. i hate the order of dawn. even the nighthunters don't kill innocent vamps, they just try to keep everythin in order and peace. They just fight gainst evil n protect the innocent. but the order of dawn, they don't. also the order of dawn scared me the first time..

&will serafine appear?

the order of the dawn will not be appearing, due to the fact that this story takes place in New York and the order of the dawn is entirely based in Europe.

I actually have the hot take that the order of the dawn...has some points. Like, I think the iteration of it we see in BB bk 2 has very much lost the plot, but it initially started out in response to Gaius being an absolute menace, so I can see where they're coming from.

Re: your second question, Serafine will make a few appearances, but not as a romancable character, and not as somebody participating in the main plot. I do think y'all will like what I do with her though.

Can you please answer more of the questions thing about your OCs?

24-34 are the next and most interesting questions, Anon, so thanks for asking!

TW: Suggestive content, Toxic Mentality, Internalised Ablism

Who's more likely to give the other a massage?

Ash has given Adrian a massage, or tend to him when he's in pain, and Adrian would not hesitate to massage Ash’s legs if he were in pain too.

Do they have any hobbies they share?

Ash is adventurous, and loves to try new things from food to travel.

Adrian loved to take him to try different dishes at restaurants, and loved his reactions to trying the most expensive wines with him.

What are their vices?

Adrian gambles and can be very cocky about it. Ash struggles with internal Toxic Masculinity, Ablism, and Depression which can influence his behaviour sometimes.

Who is the lightweight that needs to be taken care of after a party?

Ash doesn't drink very often, and Adrian’s powers stop him from getting drunk unless he consumes a stupid amount of alcohol in a short time period so that his Vampire metabolism can't keep up.

What are their thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?

Ash didn't think that he'd like pet names - but it turns out being called Winsome by Adrian makes him feel ridiculously fuzzy inside.

Adrian found he really was turned on when Ash called him his Vampire.

Adrian adores giving their son cute nicknames while he's still small.

Who is more likely to jump in a lift? Who freaks out?

Lily would have probably jumped in a lift at one point and frightened Ash.

Ash hates lifts, but has to use them as he uses crutches and cannot always take the stairs.

Adrian would be the first to scold Lily if she forgot how uncomfortable Ash was about them.

Sometimes, she misses out on context clues, but Lily isn't a terrible friend for that.

Your OTP gets to pick out each other's outfits; what is each wearing?

Depends what mood they are in-

Ash loves Adrian’s usual suit because he finds it sexy, and Adrian loves Ash’s body from his surgery scars to his smile.

Adrian would probably pick any of the suits he bought him, but he loves anything Ash wears, and mostly if he's comfortable in it.

Ash is usually the first to get naked if Adrian asks for him to be in his birthday suit, and Adrian is usually the one to tease, taking off his suit carefully even when Ash is really aroused...

Can they sit side by side without touching the other or are they handsy? (lacing fingers, touching knees, etc.)

Ash loves to rest his hand on Adrian’s thigh or knee. Adrian loves to hold his hand.

It's impossible for them to have no contact, even eye contact.

Who's the better storyteller?

Ash is quite sarcastic and makes stories funnier.

Adrian usually has experienced more and is usually the one in the stories his friends tell.

Who's the better cook?

Adrian loves to cook, and that's one of the ways he shows he cares.

Ash's disability and medical conditions make it difficult for him to cook, but he does love to when has motivation and isn't in too much pain, though he'd say Adrian is the better cook.

Who's more likely to tell a dirty joke or story to make the other blush?

Ash tells dirty jokes when he's flirty.

Adrian is actually quite shy but only shows that around those he trusts who have known him for years.

He has blushed terribly when Ash has gotten raunchy or when someone has brought up an old story from his past.

Serafine and Kamilah love to do this to him.

Who are 10 Choices characters you wish were LIs?

Sorry for the late reply, but in no particular order:

Vivian Lopez (TPA)

Harper Emery (OH)

Serafine Dupont (BB)

Diana (BP)

Xanthippe Hardwick (QB2)

Sienna Trinh (OH)

Ruby Webster (COP)

Addison Dalton (TNA3)

Riya (mc's best friend in ROD)

Jordan Le (TNA2)

I probably would have still chosen Lily over Serafine and Zoey over Xanthippe but it would have been cool to have them as a LI for a different play through.

Thanks for the ask! Hope you have a good day/night! ❤

#Literally anybody over Sam tho #Lol #And they screwed up Jackie's personality #Plus there was sooo many beautiful women in OH #They could have let the wlw be whores #And Logan should have been goc #Because it was basically written like a single LI book #ROD was a diamond mine #Just like ROE and MW #choices #alien answers ask #alien answers anon #anon ask #anon answered

*Lily had arranged for Allison’s bachelorette party to be held in the lobby of one of the fanciest hotels in Vegas. The complete downstairs level was a casino, full of people. Typical Friday night. The moment Allison and her friends walk into the huge hall, who should greet them at the door but...*

Allison: (grinning widely) Serafine!

Serafine Dupont: Allison! Such a joy to see you again, ma chere! You look simply magnifique! (She kisses each of Allison’s cheeks)

Allison: And you look stunning. I love that glittering black dress.

Lily Spencer: Serafine Dupont. Fancy seeing you here. I see you got the memo I sent out.

Serafine Dupont: Ah, oui. You said ‘Vegas fancy, all black,’ no? I believe you are the one behind this organized party.

Lily Spencer: Yep, that's me. Best friend and maid of honor. I take my job very seriously. It’s so wonderful to see you again.

Adrian Raines: Agreed. I'm so thrilled that Allison asked you to be in the wedding party as well. You really do make black look glamorous.

Serafine Dupont: Adrian, always the flatterer. When I heard about your engagement, I knew I had to congratulate you. You and Allison make the most adorable couple.

Adrian Raines: We do, don't we? It's still hard to wrap my head around that this gorgeous girl in silver is going to be my wife. (He kisses Allison’s cheek, pulling her close) I've been counting down the days until we're married. Allison won't even show me her dress until the wedding!

Serafine Dupont: Ah, the element of surprise! I love it! Adds to the mystery, no?

Allison: Finally someone who gets it! (Serafine winks at her)

Lily Spencer: So, guys, is this a party or is this a par-TAY? I wanna get my gamble on! Dibs on the roulette wheel! (She starts walking towards the back of the casino where the roulette wheels are)

Jax Matsuo: I think I'm going to see if I can strike some gold at the slot machines. Anyone’s welcome to come with.

Kamilah Sayeed: I see what looks like a blackjack table over there with my name on it. Let’s see if I can't beat the biggest winners.

Serafine Dupont: Kamilah is getting competitive tonight.

Adrian Raines: She usually is, but I'll admit: this is high even for her. It might be because we're celebrating Allison.

Allison: To think, the last time I was in Vegas, we were all almost permanent museum pieces. (She recalls the night she and her friends had flown out here to meet with Langdon Kavinsky, who had ended up locking them in his cells like animals)

Adrian Raines: (taking her hand and squeezing it) That won't happen ever again. I'll make sure of it. At least tonight, we're here to have fun, like we were always supposed to. (His eyes rove the casino) I think I'm going to play some rounds of poker. I'd love it if you tagged along. I need my good luck charm.

Allison: Adrian Raines, you are a saucy one.

Adrian Raines: Only for you, my beautiful fiancee. Serafine, will you be gambling with us tonight?

Serafine Dupont: Gambling isn't really my thing. I'll stay out here and see if I can get our group into some shows. I have some favorite performers out here that you all can't miss.

Thomas Aldethorne

Name: Thomas Henry Aldethorne

DoB: July 12th, 1620

Age (in years): 403

Age at Turning: 27

Nationality: English, though he also has Italian heritage (maternal)

Hobbies:

- Reading in his study

- Painting - he’s incredibly artistic

- Learning about technological advancements.

Biggest Fear: That would be a spoiler 👀

Significant relationships:

Elizabeth Clarke - Thomas’ closest friend and girlfriend. They met in the mid 19th century, though their meeting was unexpected. The pair grew closer over time and eventually began a romantic relationship, though Elizabeth’s mortality called their closeness into question. Thomas became distant after Elizabeth’s Turning and they grew apart, eventually leading to a break in their relationship. However, years passed and the couple found themselves reunited by the end of the 19th century.

Serafine DuPont - As she had been with Kamilah and Adrian, Serafine and Thomas were ‘involved’ for a few years, though neither regard it as any more than a fling. They no longer correspond, but the end was amicable.

Kamilah Sayeed - The pair have met a few times, though mainly through their makers. They have lost touch over the years, neither of them having communicated with the other since the 1940s.

Cyprian Morselli - The vampire that turned him; old friend of Gaius Augustine. Cyprian ‘helped’ Thomas to adapt to life as a vampire. Like Gaius did with Adrian and Kamilah, Cyprian manipulated Thomas. This only worsened when Cyprian Turned Elizabeth, tightening his control on Thomas.

Personality traits:

- Compassionate

- Intelligent

- Empathic

- Courageous

- Confident

- Perceptive

Flaws:

- Troublesome - often drawn into or causing trouble with others.

- Stubborn - refuses to back down.

- Overprotective - like Adrian, Thomas is known for going to the extremes to protect others.

Fun fact: He’s a romantic, so he’s often found writing little notes for Elizabeth and leaving them in places that he knows she’ll find them.
